Note: I am an experienced painter. I do not recommend just picking up a can of paint and having your fun because it is a highly invasive process in which many variables are considered. Controlled enviornment/safety, correct materials, maticulous application/rendering and correct dry time. ---dirty front grill before the stripe painting. I had old head light black outs but after loosing one i decided to paint them. I took precautions with this because I like for other drivers to see me. Made sure most of the light would come thru before painting. Two step masking process with my own design.
